DescriptionSince June 1981, Bellevue Autocourt of Lower Hutt had shared No. 18 with Alister Cottle, who had been there since 1967. The September 22 'Leader' said Alister had applied for planning permission to use 14-16 for car sales, wile Mike Nelson, Bellevue's managing director, had bought 30 perches at No. 6, and King Datsun, on Fergusson Drive, had numbers 8 and 10.
The Big Valley Motor Co. opened a branch here under Mike Nelson in February 1985; they had already been at 1066 Fergusson Drive, run by Mike Gilmour, with Brett Arnold covering both sites.
At some stage this had been the original MacDonald Nightingale site; they later had a site at 809-811 Fergusson Drive, on the corner of Wilson Street, next to King Toyota.
The threatening weather came to nothing.Date Taken25th December 2012
